Today My Name Is...Nike

February!!!

Well today my name is Nike...lol because the saying Just Do It fits this day day and my outlook for the month ahead. Do it, stick with it, get it done...I have proven I can do it. I did the 30 day early morning yoga challenge, I have lost 10lbs in a month, worked through hormonal Eclectus issues and organized my house and life...I can do February with Gusto ;)

So I am going into this month feeling a little lighter as far as weight goes. Here's hoping another 10 lbs can go find the 10 I have just lost. That would be great! While I might be feeling lighter weight wise I feel as though I've gained extra in the form of financial, but I'm excited as this gain means time spent with family camping.

We put in an offer and are waiting to hear if it was accepted. We should hear by the end of the week and when we do I will share all the details and pictures. I couldn't be more excited! The RV show was great, our sales lady was fantastic and not pushy at all and the unit we found had almost every single detail we wanted in a trailer. Finding so much in one unit is pretty hard. We did last year BUT the unit was either huge, or way too heavy or lacked one of our big wants. So I am pleased and we now need to wait for spring to roll in so we can get our tent trailer ready to list. I will miss our tent trailer. What a great unit, roomy, light to pull and lots of storage. For us this made more sense.

So now comes the task of finding RV storage to park that is convenient. Having made a few calls I am a little worried as most storage areas in our end of the city are full or very close to. We will have to confirm very soon to guarantee a space.

This past weekend was insane, and I really feel it today. My head is throbbing, jaw is tense, arm aches. I did NO lifting or anything physical. The weather is terribly cold right now though and that always aggravates my arm and jaw causing all sorts of issues. I'm exhausted though, we walked around, ran the kids to birthdays, ringette, the Hitman game on Friday, a team DQ celebration for being undefeated and out for a visit with friends. It was just busy.

 

Saturday night I almost bailed on my date with my girlfriends and their hubby's to celebrate birthdays. I was just so tired but because we never get out I pushed myself to go. We had a lovely time, a couple drinks and great company at the casino. For the most part we visited and enjoyed a couple drinks, a few did some card games but it was low key and a nice time. We are all looking forward to spring and camping. Our friends just bought a trailer as well so there's lots of social time ahead for us.

Once we get the financial stuff in a row I will feel better! Planning for the future, retirement ect. is overwhelming. Having gotten on track though with the financial planner I feel good about our future.

This month I hope to:
-find a storage lot close by to allow for convenience.
-get some of the things we will need for the trailer
-organize the basement
-sell Viggo's big cage
-sell our extra goalie gear
-book our site for the long weekend of goalie school
-read 2 books
-get financial stuff done

Being that my mind is now racing about the trailer I sat last night at midnight and had to jot them down before I forgot. It's the little things like getting: a toaster, vacuum, wet jet, bedding & pillows, big dog bed from Costco, 3m hooks, dish cloths/dish towels, towels, 32" TV.... to name a few things.

Did I mention today I feel slightly anxious as I am one week away from my hospital visit? I cannot wait until it is said and done, over and out....and then comes the waiting game to find out results and see when I have to return again. Fingers crossed for a good outcome and 2 year mark. That would be awesome!

Today My Name Is...Nike...JUST DO IT!
